B                 A  
 There goes innocence fading away

            B                    A
 Here comes bitterness after you pay 
 
       B                      A
 For believing in stories man-made 

         B                        D
 Yes, we all want to be your next lover 

        B                           D
 But we scared so we're running you down 

         B                        D
 Yes, we all want to be your next lover 

          B                      D
 But your beauty's too far above ground 


 From a film heroine 


         B                          A
 We will laugh at the worst of your jokes 

                    B                        A
 Steal a kiss if we can, buy you flowers and gifts 

                 B                          A
 Every move is a plan, you can measure this man 

                      B                          A
 By the depths of his lies, you can measure this man 

        B                        D
 Yes we all want to be your next lover 

        B                        D
 Yes we all want to be your next lover 



        B                          A
 We are driven by things you can't feel 

        B                      A
 Are we stealing or are we the steal 

       B          A
 So we lie like a priest 

          B              A
 To slide under and into inside 

         B                     A
 Love is cruel but love seldom kind 


        B                        D
 Yes we all want to be your next lover 

        B                        D
 Yes we all want to be your next lover 



       B          
 I can lie like the best of them 

 A                         B
 Wait with the patience of man 

                  A
 Seem so understanding 

                     B
 While I'm making my plans 


                  A                         B
 I'm so full of desire, I've forgotten your name 

                  A                        B
 I'm so full of desire, I could burst into flames 

                  D            B          D
 I'm so full of desire I can't hope to control 

        B                     D
 This desire that's closer to pain 

       B                     D  
 River runs where all rivers go 

        B                   D
 This desire will not be contained 

        B                        D
 Yes we all want to be your next lover 

        B                        D
 Yes we all want to be your next lover 


 Lover  Lover I love her 

 Who are you dreaming of now 
 Is she flesh real 
 Or carved in memory
